Positive Voltage Regulators

The LM340T-12 is virtually indestructible with it's internal current-limiting,
thermal shutdown, and safe-area compensation. This device is designed to be used as a
fixed regulator in most instances. When this voltage regulator is used for on-card regulation,
noise and distribution problems that may occur with single-point regulation are eliminated.
To use the LM340T-12 as an adjustable regulator the use of outside components would be needed.
